No which is why I wouldnt support any of them. The initial point was the arguement 'left wing people should support her' which my response has been no because she isnt even left wing and has shit views/politics at odds with left wing principles. As shit as Sanders is he is better than her for a left wing voter.

The bigger issue is how do you keep a candidate true to their word once elected and that is where a mobilised grassroots social movement is needed - Sanders sort of has it with the DSA thing which is why the Dem centrists hate him so much. Same with Corbyn and momentum.

I think the initial point was more that the Dems should maybe support her, because she is a bit different.

She's not going to appeal to a Marxist. We have a Socialist Party for those people.

To put it politely, she's a fucking idiot. She won her seat in highly Hispanic populated area. And a lot of those are illegal and unable to vote. But because She ran as a Democrat and Democrats don't mind who votes as long as they vote Democrat she ousted another odious Democrat called Joe Crowley.I like her for the simple fact she will destroy the Democratic Party from the inside. And it won't be long before she starts playing the game and taking Bribes herself.If she can manage to remove all the old people from the top of the party. I'd actually vote for a second term for her. But watch her and see she will go nowhere. And maybe even be killed!
